This is awful, and it happens on every single ICE flight, more than 40 a day. There have been multiple emergency evacuations of ICE flights. One took SEVEN MINUTES, they are supposed to take 90 seconds. An Avelo ICE plane did an emergency landing after depressurization in Nov.; 5 people injured.

Released detainees at our shelter say they were flown on ICE Air while shackled at the hands, waist, and ankles. They listened to the flight attendants safety briefing in disbelief-how could they evacuate, open exits, or put on oxygen masks while restrained? One said, ‘Anything happens, we’re dead.’

You are not claiming surprise. Don't extend this to everyone. And as tiresome as it is to repeat, I think it's important to get the word out that there was a lot of information available before the election. But I'll stop commenting on your threads.

The detainees I spoke with said that women were allowed to have one wrist unshackled when using the restroom. Men were never unshackled, regardless of their bathroom needs. One man told me, “You hold it as long as you can.” No wiping allowed. It's disgusting cruelty.

Republican policy at work. They should get credit. Republicans also want police to be able to murder people for not submissively obeying random orders from heavily armed masked men without identification!
